"In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary, come again?"

This is what I thought about last night's Heroes 'Five Years Past', or whatever it was called.




Nathan was dead?

THEY KILLED NATHAN?!!!

Well, I knew something was wrong, b/c that sure as hell wasn't Nathan because he would never have let Peter go away – no matter what they fought about – and bad Peter for not realizing something was dead wrong when Nathan wasn't harassing him every five seconds -- but, uh, THEY KILLED NATHAN.

If they kill Nathan -- I will stop watching. That's not a threat, that's just the truth. Even though Adrian Pasdar was rocking those suits last night and it was never a better time to be a White House Intern (PREACH!).

It was nice to see Jim Profit in the White House, yo, seriously. Did I mention the suits?

Also? Okay, Peter with a scar and dressing all hotass? Whoooooooooooo boy.

No, really, whoooo boy. And I mean that in all the best possible, "here let me channel a little Neo from The Matrix and some Italian mob movie here in my tacky STRIP CLUB!" way. I would talk to K about this, but her head won't stop spinning around her neck and she might get pea soup on me.

As for Mohinder well, it's like I told [livejournal.com profile] antheia:

Dude, Mohinder has Petrelli-fever. He's totally their Marilyn Monroe. Maybe marginally smarter, but not by much.

Seriously though, Peter was SMOKING last night, I was like, Uhhhhhhh, there is NO WAY Nathan would have let that out the house.

Sylar as Mystique running the White House was marginally interesting -- it would have been way more interesting if it actually WAS Mystique though, for reals.

Also, you know my favorite part was when Sylar killed Claire. For reals.

I clapped.

A lot.

And for a long time.

Some other stuff happened, the show actually stopped being all "pro-America and aren't we the best, brightest and the saviours of all" and made a real indictment of the post 9/11-era. That was fucking impressive and all. Terrorists, huh?

ITA. Nathan had two year's from the time the bomb went off to make it to the Oval Office. There's no way that Brain-muncher could pull off any amount of charisma or lunacy to spend that time running for candidacy.

Plus, Sylar said that Nathan had already "betrayed his own kind" by the time he killed him. So while hinting at a later timeline, it also makes you wonder if it was a lie like Peter believed or whether Nathan's actions became more morally grey. Sylar really could've just been acknowledging that he knew about Nathan's deal with the devil or he could've been referencing the post-bomb brute squad rounding up "terrorists" or perhaps even the recent choice to kill them all.

I like to think though, that Nathan draws the line at genocide and that Sylar killed him months befor the Present-Hiro's arrival. I mean, Sylar's good, but 5 years? Man, he couldn't even fool a anmesiac for a few hours and even Mohinder eventually got a clue.

I love that you call Sylar 'Brain-Muncher' I have to remember that for next week's review. Really. *makes note to self*
